Chapter 359: Duel
The weeping willows in Shengjing City are densely populated, and most of them are planted on both sides of the bluestone paved streets.
It was the summer season, and the catkins were scattered, which made the Shengjing people who were already depressed feel even more upset.
The reason for the upset is very simple, the border passes of Yizhou and Qingzhou have both been broken, and it has become inevitable that the Great Wilderness and the Western Regions army will drive straight in, such news naturally makes people unhappy, at this time, every breath has to be careful with catkins, how can you not be more irritable?
As the brightening light finally broke through the heavy clouds and raised the temperature of Shengjing City, this irritability became more and more intense, and the entire Shengjing City was like a powder keg about to be ignited.
Immediately, it can be seen that the neighbors are shouting because of trivial matters, and the government of the Tang Dynasty can also be seen everywhere to suppress the pressure of the Tang Dynasty and patrol around.
Zhang Xiaodao, who was walking on the street, could not smell the smell of gunpowder, and could only feel the anxiety in the hearts of the people.
He was also anxious, so after making sure that he could not help the barefoot monk, he quickly ran to the Futu Temple, where there was still a monument waiting for him to see.
Entering the Futu Temple and coming to the bottom of the Tower of Babel, Zhang Xiaodao stood under the stone tablet that towered over the sky.
The stele was huge, and he was very small, like an ant looking up at a giant tree in the sky.
The ant couldn't read the texture of the bark of the giant tree, and he couldn't read the words on the stele, but he had to read it.
The immeasurable monk brought a futon, and after Zhang Xiaodao thanked him, he sat down seriously, looked at the stone tablet, looked at the dense ancient words on it, and then fell asleep.
That's right, Zhang Xiaodao didn't last half an hour. Forcing himself to look at things he couldn't understand, without any perception or subtlety, he naturally fell asleep sleepily .......
However, the mother-in-law and the immeasurable monk who watched him fall on the futon laughed, and seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Xiaodao's performance.
In the afternoon of this day, the catkins in Shengjing City fell, the cicadas chirped loudly, and Zhang Xiaodao, who fell on the futon, naturally had a dream, and there was no Wang Luohan in the dream.
He's starting to learn to dream, too!
............
Zhang Xiaodao in the dream had some nasal congestion, he didn't know that it was because there were catkins and white hairs in his nostrils while he was sleeping, and he didn't even think it was a dream. Because he doesn't dream.
The world in front of you is like a picture. Among them is a stone mountain, a clear spring, and a wooden boat.
Zhang Xiaodao first locked his gaze on the stone mountain, and then showed an incomprehensible look.
The reason why this mountain is called a stone mountain is naturally because there are many stones on this mountain. However, at this time, the stone mountain in Zhang Xiaodao's eyes is not just as simple as many stones. This is because the entire mountain is made up of stubborn rocks of different shapes.
A wall made of stones can be piled up. It can be a stone forest, but it's hard to be a mountain, and it's even harder to be a steep and extremely high mountain.
Zhang Xiaodao didn't know if the mountain was man-made. He didn't even know how he got here, but he didn't think about it.
He stared blankly for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the clear spring, again a little incomprehensible.
The reason why Yiwang is called Yiwang is because its area is very small, not a lake, not a stream, but more like a puddle of water on the low-lying bluestone plate after the rain in Shengjing City.
But in such a small area, there is still a piece of wooden boat, so the wooden boat is smaller, so it is called a piece, which looks like a model from the previous life, but the model is naturally an airplane tank, but this model is just a wooden boat.
Compared with the stone mountain, a clear spring and a wooden boat were too small, Zhang Xiaodao's gaze did not stay for a long time, so he thought about climbing the mountain to take a look.
He came to the foot of the stone mountain, and saw a handful of dust falling on a stubborn stone, as if it had been deliberately scattered here, and what was even more strange was that he saw a stone staircase, but the stone staircase did not wind upward, only one step up was a rocky rock.
Zhang Xiaodao felt even more inexplicable, but he still stepped on the stone steps and walked up, and then he was surprised to find that except for the handful of dust he had just seen, there was not even a trace of dust in the gap between the stones in this stone mountain.
This is undoubtedly a very strange thing.
But Zhang Xiaodao still didn't think deeply, he was like a traveler, he didn't care about the rationality of sudden things, he just wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see the scenery.
Zhang Xiaodao went all the way up and saw a tree.
The tree was not very tall, and in addition to the main stem, it gave birth to only one branch, which had a leaf on it, and a flower on the leaf.
But such a strange tree still did not make Zhang Xiaodao think deeply, he continued to walk up, saw a butterfly, a dragonfly, a wisp of green smoke, and finally he saw a stone house halfway up the mountain, with a grass on the stone house, as if to tell people that it is called a 'thatched house'.
Zhang Xiaodao's footsteps finally stopped, he pushed open a wooden door made of wood, walked into the stone house, and saw many unique things.
A porcelain bowl, a chopstick, a stove, a firewood .......
............
............
When night falls, the starlight splashes on every corner of Yizhou, illuminating the town and illuminating the wilderness.
Zhang Xiaodao was very familiar with the wind and snow slope at this time, there was no wind and snow, only blood stains.
The Great Wilderness finally couldn't ignore these border towns and sent heavy troops to exterminate them, but he didn't want them to arrive in Lingyin County yet, and there were already people waiting for them on the snowy slopes in Lingyin County.
The battle began early last night, and the battle has been fierce until the night falls, but it is still not over.
Ling Boyan leaned against a stubborn rock with a grim expression, gasping for breath.
As a member of the Wind Chaser Battalion, their battle had started three days earlier, and they could blind the Great Wilderness people into leading them to the Wind and Snow Slope, and the Wind Chaser Battalion obviously had a slight upper hand in the battle with the Great Wilderness scouts before the battle.
It's just that this upper hand disappeared immediately after the war between the two sides.
The follow-up troops of the Great Wilderness rushed to the wind and snow slope in succession, and invested more than 20,000 people successively!
You must know that outside Jiuyang City, it is only an army of 80,000 Great Wilderness, and this number must have some moisture. Putting 20,000 people into Fengxue Slope and Lingyin County is impossible no matter how you look at it.
But the desolate people are here like this, and Lingyin County can only resist except to resist!
The place where Ling Boyan was was in the barren mountains behind the windy and snowy slopes, his traces had been exposed, and more than a hundred people were chasing him!
Ling Boyan couldn't figure out why he wanted to chase and kill himself, but the purpose of the Great Wilderness people was extremely clear, the scouts of the Wind Chasing Camp or Sheng Tang were the eyes and ears of Sheng Tang, as long as Sheng Tang's eyes were stabbed blind, and his ears were punctured. Then there will be a lot less intestines in the Tang Dynasty. If there are a lot of flowers, the intestines are not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, they like to be tough!
Therefore, Ling Boyan was chased and killed by more than 100 people, and now he has reached the point where he has run out of oil.
The windy slopes of Lingyin County are now a big battlefield. And beyond the snowy slope is a small battlefield!
Force value is not a crucial factor in a major battle. Courage first!
It's completely different in the small battlefield. If you have the strength here, you can accomplish some heroic feats!
Ling Boyan had already done it several times, and he had already killed more than thirty people in this barren mountain! A narrow escape.
Now, he knows that he no longer has the ability to kill more people in the Great Wilderness, he needs to breathe, he needs to rest!
However, the Great Wilderness people followed his trail like a hungry wolf, leaning on this stubborn rock, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Ling Boyan knew that he had to go!
When Ling Boyan left, he deliberately left some traces and disappeared into the dense forest.
In a few moments, a group of men and horses came to the back of the boulders, and looked at the footprints and stopped.
Mu Zhuwu was one of these desolate people, he had seen Ling Boyan before, but Ling Boyan had not seen him.
At this time, the desolate people led by more than ten people chose to chase in the opposite direction of the footprints, because they had fallen for Ling Boyan before, but Mu Zhuwu said: "I think we should take the road of footprints!"
Everyone stood still, Mu Zhuwu's suggestion was not ignored, and the desolate man led by him waved his hand, and the two desolate people left the team and followed Mu Zhuwu to follow the footprints.
Another desolate man in the team was puzzled: "The fighting power of the Sheng Tang people is very strong, Xiao Mu ...... them"
The leader of the desolate people was convinced: "He has been chased for two days and nights, now he is just a prey, all we have to do is to find him, maybe he will not even have the strength to kill himself by then!"
The leader's words were not wrong, Ling Boyan's footsteps running in the dense forest had been vain to the extreme, and the vitality in his body had been exhausted, but he still had arrows in his hands!
Climbing on top of a giant tree, Ling Boyan eliminated the feeling of weakness, and with bated breath he felt the pursuers behind him quickly approaching, and released three arrows without hesitation!
The three arrows were out of par, for they had no vitality to propulsive, and they slowly pierced through the green leaves, bypassed the branches, and came to the three desolate men.
In the face of the slow cluster of arrows, the three desolate people did not dare to hold it up, Mu chased the martial arts forward, and the other two scattered from the left and right.
It was only when the cluster of arrows was only three inches into the soil that they realized that the cluster of arrows was powerless.
And after shooting these three arrows, Ling Boyan walked forward on the continuous tree trunk with great speed, and finally jumped down behind a desolate man!
The desolate man's backhand knife was extremely fast, but Ling Boyan seemed to have expected it, and with just a short movement, he crashed into the desolate man's arms, and at the same time pulled out the dagger in his military boots.
The Great Wilderness Man fell backwards with force, and the dagger in Ling Boyan's hand was accurately inserted into his heart, and then pulled downward, ensuring that he would die in a breath after falling, and he rolled forward like a tanuki!
Ling Boyan's series of battles were like ghosts, but in fact, he paid the last effort and gambled successfully.
At this time, it was naturally not his purpose to kill a desolate man, his body rolled forward, and the last vitality he squeezed out was all used on his feet, and he rushed towards another desolate man who was dodging the arrow cluster on the right side like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep!
This desolate man never thought that the dying Ling Boyan would still have such combat power, but his reaction speed was not slow, and he slashed out with a knife that was full of vitality, blowing a green storm!
Ling Boyan passed through this storm!
This is not how strong his cultivation is, and he can be unscathed under this sword qi. It's that he knows he can't kill this desolate man without paying some price!
The desolate man obviously didn't expect that Ling Boyan actually bravely passed through his sword qi and came to him with hundreds of bloodshot knife cuts all over his body.
Ling Boyan threw out the dagger in his hand at a very short distance!
The dagger is like a flash of light, the long knife of the desolate man is horizontal, and the dagger is in contact with the long knife, rubbing out dazzling sparks, just like the ancients striking a flint!
However, Ling Boyan's long knife also arrived at this time, and it was also thrown, like a flash of lightning, but it did not have the effect of flint, but it sank into the belly of the desolate man, splashing blood.
Ling Boyan, whose hands were covered with blood scabs, quickly grasped the hilt of his long knife, and then burst out with his last strength and turned wildly!
The desolate man spurted blood, and all the internal organs had been crushed!
Ling Boyan drew his knife and turned his head, and saw that Mu Zhuwu had stopped coming to the rescue!
A trace of astonishment appeared on Ling Boyan's face, and then he became relieved, and smiled at Mu Zhuwu, but the blood stains on his face made his smile look extremely hideous!
Mu Zhuwu took a deep breath and said puzzledly: "You have improved a lot!"
Ling Boyan supported a big tree with one hand, began to gasp heavily, and replied, "It's okay. Then the two fell silent, save for the rustle of green leaves in the wind.
A year ago, both of them were students of the Academy in the Tang Dynasty, and they used to drink together, vomit together, study together, and learn together.
A year later, their reunion was not unexpected, it could even be said to be perfect!
In this dense forest, no one will disturb the duel between the two for the time being, and the two have never thought of showing mercy because of their previous relationship.
So, after the simple greeting was completed, the two rushed to each other!
This is the battlefield!
No Love!(To be continued......)
PS: It's nothing serious, I'm in good physical condition, the next thing is to write well, well, cheer yourself!
